THE HAH AC A SENTINEL.
Issued Special Revival Edition LilHt
Week.
The Baraca Sentinel, published l y
♦he members of the liaracu Class of
the First Baptist church, issued a
special Revival edition of eight pages
which was doubtless one of the
largest publications of Its Hind ever
issued in Texas by a single Sunday
Bchool class. The history of the
Sentinel while only a young publi-
cation, is very interesting. The last
issue was No. II, Vol. I. The iirst
issue published was just the size of
a post card with only inn printed
each week, it was later changed i<>
its present size, with a pastor's cor-
ner edited by l>r. 13. 10. King, and ihe
circulation Increased to l.'iO per
week, and adopted a plan of (barg-
ing 5c per week lo subscribers. The
management also began to accept
advertising from merchants, and
the merchants have been very gener-
ous toward the Sentinel. Last weel-
FiOO Sentinels were Issued, containing
eight pages, which was indeed n
credit to the class. This week, we
are informed, the Sentinel will pub-
lish a special "Mother's Day'" edi-
tion, and no doubt the Baraca Class
will get out a good one. The class
has recently closed a very successful
campaign in which they received
scores of new members. The nines
will tender the Beds, the winners,
n bartquet In the near future, Mrs.
L. C. Clifton is the efficient teacher
of the class.

Annual Reunion of Elder R. C. Horn Family
and Decoration of Graves in Horn Cemetery
Big Gathering of Relatives and Friends Meet to Do Honor
to Worthy Old Couple and Commemorate
Memory of the Dead.
I
THE HORN FAMILY.
(Contributed.)
Friday was the 68th anniversary
of the birth of Elder R. C. Horn,
and in accordance with a custom oi
many years standing," and by ><■
hearty invitation from Elder ana
Mrs. Horn, a large number of rela-
tives and friends gathered at their
home five miles northwest of Mc-
Kinney in the Vineland community
to partake of their hospitality an:'.1
to decorate the graves of the loveo
kinsmen and friends who in othei
days were laid to rest in this beau-
tiful Horn cemetery nearby. Just
before noon Brother Horn volun-
tarily took the initiative as "toast
master," in calling a program that
originated on "the spur of the mo-
ment." Rev. E. H. Holmes opened
with prayer and Brother Horn began
by extending a hearty welcome to
nil, and called Rev. .1. M. Bell, pastoi
of the First Christian church ot
McKinney to respond. Brother
Bell called attention to the fact
that for years it had been the priv-
ilege and pleasure of the neighbors
of Brother Horn to meet and do
him great honor in recognition ot
his services as a minister and, as a
citizen. His closing remarks, di-
rected to Brother and Mrs. Horn
were words of eloquence and ten-
derness, and very affecting. Rev. A.
J. Bush of Dallas, a pioneer preach-
er of Dallas, and father of Rev.
Geo. L. Bush, was the next speak-
er. Brother Bush's kindly face was
not a stranger to many who were
present. For thirty-seven years ho
has preached the gospel in Texas,
and has been .connected with the
Juliet Fowler Orphan Home. He,
too, called attention to the life
work of his bosom friend, Brother
Horn, during which he very aptly
spoke In favor of a long pastorate.
He advised the younger preachers
not to become discouraged but work
the field constantly nnd if the field
seems narrow why "Just go to work
and broaden It." Evidently Brother
Rush went on the theory that "a
rolling stone gathers no moss." He
closed with a sweet "heart to heart
talk"
Next on the program was Elder
E. H. (Eugene) Holmes, the popular
young pastor of Van Alstyne nnd
fortunate son-in-law of Elder Horn.
He recounted his school days lit
Kentucky, his return to Texas and
finally a "notable" visit from his
father's home in Denton county to
the hospitable home of Elder R. C.
Horn. Right here is where lie began
his evangelical work, which start,
wns very successful from the fact,
that he "converted" one of Brother
Horn's fair daughters to his way of
thinking. His talk was highly ap-
preciated.
At this juncture Rev. Horn In-
troduced Senator Tom VV. Perkins,
who was assigned the subject of
"Tlie Protection of the Home." Sen-
ator Perkins began by paying a high
compliment to Brother and sister
Horn and then took for bis subject
"Fraternalism" as a means for the
protection of the home. lie sain
ibis condition was caused because of
the fact that the church in general
had neglected Its duty, hence the
lodge work wns brought into use to
help wait on the sick, bury the
dead, etc. He too, like brother
Holmes, had crept into a preachers
home and stolo the best j^irl therein.
He referred to the fact that his
own father-in-law, Elder J, b.
Faulkner, deceased, was a pioneer
preacher of the Christian church.
That he (Perkins) came to Collin
county without friends and money;
that whatever lie amounted to nt
present or ever attained in the fu-
ture, lie attributed to his good wife,
lie closed with another pleasing
reference to brother and sister
Horn.
Wlu n Mr. Perkins closed the hour
was late, towing to the nntlcipntion
of dinner) but Brother Horn Insist-
ed that another intellectual treat
was In store and he desired greatly
to Introduce one of his very beet
friends who had stood by him
I |gng|
ELDER R. C. HORN.
through all the years—Hon. E. W.
Kirkpatrick. He said that Mr.
Kirkpatrick was one man who be-
iieved in answering prayers sub-
stantially and quickly and that he
always practiced this habit, hence
when he came on this occasion he
brought a sack of flour for use in the
Horn home. Mr. Kirkpatrick began
by telling that ns he went forwaro
to speak he was admonished in ve-
hement whispers to "cut it short"
for the reason that the "dinner
might spoil." He, however, pro-
ceeded by taking umbrage at some
former remarks in which the lan-
guage often occurred, "Old Broth-
er Horn." "Old Brother Bush" ano
"Old sister So nnd so."' He insist-
ed they were not old: that Broth-
ers Horn and Bush were younget
now, at three score years and ten,
than many who are in the twenties.
Where the heart is young the life
never grows old. To live close to
nature in the country home is the
best privilege given to man by the
God of the universe. His remarks
were inspiring to all and comments
favorably thereon were numerous.
At the close a big dinner was spread
and all enjoyed a rare feast of good
things to eat.
After dinner many went to the
cemetery, and tenderly laid flowers
on the graves of the loved ones
gone before. Though the weather In
the morning was threatening the
day turned out to be pleasant.
